if you dont mind a little drive to pick it up yourself....

Sun's Auto
14102 Chrisman Road
Houston, Tx. 77039
Houston's Largest JDM Importer

I've dealt with them and can vouch for their service... I personally know a few guys who work there also.

These guy's got a website? I should have searched..

I think the site is new. It doesnt look very informative though. They have a way bigger selection of parts than whats on the site.

Here is their link on houston-imports...

I'm planning on getting mine from Jhotexports in Augusta,GA... anyone had any dealings with them? I've read one good review...

bonus of picking up a set is that you can see it for yourself before you buy

One of my friends is possibly picking up a 1jz this weekend from Jhotexports... Ill let you guys know how that goes

Jarco is too expensive for my blood... I know they are great setups though

I'm looking for $1500 max... I've seen clips go for that price, but I'll be happy with a engine set provided it has everything I need...

might even be able to save some cash by not getting a transmission with the motor if I go pick it up from Jhotexports

let us know got_trd!!!

You can get a motorset from them for $1200, but a friend of mine that I talked to said they were out of stock for a few weeks, and I need to do the swap NOW. So it was perfect timing for a CLEAN Jarco clip. So I know ill be getting everything I need, and there will still be items on the car that I can part out to make some of my money back.

mteele (Matt) was who I was talking about... I knew it was some place in GA just wasnt sure which place

Anyone know of any places in California that I could possibly pick up from?

most exporters in the US are in California... do a search, you'll find lots of them


My friend bought a 1jz engine set in Gulfport, MS for his old Toyota truck (which now runs low 7s in the 1/8th)... I havent been able to contact him lately; anyone recall what the name of this shop is so I can call them? I can find nothing in the phone book, and none of my other friends can recall exactly what shop he got it from

Another place you might try is RT Motorsports (Rims and Things) in Greenville, SC and Charlotte, NC. http://www.rimsandthings.com/

I've met Brad a few times in person and he seems very decent and knowledgable. He has an auto Soarer clip, and a few 5 speed 1JZ-GTE Mk III clips, plus some 1JZ motorsets in stock.

One company to stay away from: Osaka JDM Engines. They have good prices, but the quality of their engines is very suspect (very likely not sourced in Japan), and their customer service is horrible if you have a complaint or a problem. Almost every other person I've talked to that have ordered engines from them has had complaints about them as well. The prices might be cheaper, but I'd advise spending more and going with a company that will back their product.

I've had dealings with JHot and Jarco, both are good reputable companies. I've met staff from both at drift events and they're knowledgable and helpful people.
